Unconditional, Universal #BasicIncome. Because a "cushion" is nice, but a stable FOUNDATION is even better.
Meanwhile, AI-driven "dividend" proposals are gaining traction from Taiwan to U.S. political campaigns, pushing UBI from thought experiment toward policy conversation. #UBI #BasicIncome #AIEconomy
If #BasicIncome were $1,000 a month. I would still work. But if basic income were $2,000 a month, I would quit my current job and focus on producing more #art and how to make #money from that art.

This is why I keep saying that #artists need #BasicIncome.
Unconditional, Universal #BasicIncome is the VACCINE against the illness of systemic poverty and exploitation of "human resources" for wealth gain.
This is reason 8461982469816498134 we need unconditional, universal #BasicIncome, because the LARGEST WORKFORCE IN THE COUNTRY is 100% uncompensated.
